The
Albemarle County Planning Commission, at its meeting on November 16, 2004,
denied approval of the above-noted petition by a vote of (5:2).

The
Commission denied the request for private roads in the exercise of its
discretion under Albemarle County Code Sections 14-232 and 14-234. The proposed
public roads could not be approved by VDOT and, otherwise, the approval of the
private road would allow the property to be developed differently than it could
be with the public road. In order for the preliminary plat to be approved, the
subdivider must either amend the plat to show that all the roads would be public
roads or provide the Commission with an alignment of the private road that meets
the requirements of Albemarle County Code Sections 14-232 through 14-234.

If you
should have any questions or comments regarding the above noted action, please
do not hesitate to contact me (434) 296-5823.
